New Sight Fishing Technique for Bass

Dateline 5/22/00

A Eufaula guide told me about a new sight fishing technique for bass that really worked. A picture of the proof is on Ron Brook's saltwater site.  Part owner of Paddle-Tail worms, was sight fishing there in early April, and catching more bass than anyone else.

Allen would sit on a sandbar on the main lake where the water was only a few feet deep. He would watch the light colored sandy patches between hydrilla clumps, watching for cruising bass. When he spotted one he would cast at least 20 feet ahead of it and let the worm lay still on the bottom. When the bass got within a couple of feet, he would snatch the worm off the bottom and rip it right in front of the fish's face.

This rapid movement would draw a reaction strike from bass that would not hit anything else. He was rigging a Paddle-Tail worm behind a quarter ounce sinker. The Paddle-Tail has a fantastic swimming action when it is moved, and it sends out strong vibrations.

Allen said he told everyone, including the other guides at Wingates, what was working for him. Georgia Outdoor Writers Association members that went out with other guides did not catch many fish while Allen was wearing them out. Guess they did not believe him, or did not want to try that technique.

Give it a try. You might be surprised!
